[Docket No. FAA–2010–1328; Airspace 

Docket No. 10–AEA–26] 

Amendment of Class D and Class E 

Airspace; Baltimore, MD 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

and Class E airspace at Baltimore, MD, 

as the Martin Non-Directional Beacon 

(NDB) has been decommissioned and 

new Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures have been developed at 

Martin State Airport. This action also 

updates the geographic coordinates of 

the Baltimore VORTAC and makes a 

minor adjustment to the geographic 

coordinates of the airport. This action 

enhances the safety and airspace 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 9, 

2012. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to 

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.9 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 31, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class D and E airspace at 

Martin State Airport, Baltimore, MD (76 

FR 54153). Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal to the FAA. No 

comments were received. Subsequent to 

publication, the FAA found that the 

geographic coordinates for Martin State 

Airport and navigation aid needed to be 

adjusted. This action makes that 

adjustment. Class D and E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000, 6002, and 6004 respectively of 

FAA Order 7400.9V dated August 9, 

2011, and effective September 15, 2011, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class D airspace and Class E 

surface airspace and Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to Class D 

surface area. Airspace reconfiguration is 

necessary due to the decommissioning 

of the Martin NDB and cancellation of 

the NDB approach, and for continued 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. The geographic 

coordinates for the Baltimore VORTAC 

and Martin State Airport also are 

adjusted to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. It, therefore, (1) Is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. 

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in subtitle 

VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. 

Under that section, the FAA is charged 

with prescribing regulations to assign 

the use of airspace necessary to ensure 

the safety of aircraft and the efficient 

use of airspace. This regulation is 

within the scope of that authority as it 

amends controlled airspace at Martin 

State Airport, Baltimore, MD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 22, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

Class E airspace at Luray, VA (76 FR 

52292). Interested parties were invited 

to participate in this rulemaking effort 

by submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. Subsequent to 

publication, the FAA found that the 

geographic coordinates of the airport 

needed to be adjusted. This action 

makes that adjustment. Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9V dated 

August 9, 2011, and effective September 

15, 2011, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Luray, VA, to provide the controlled 

airspace required to accommodate the 

new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global 

Positioning System (GPS) Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

developed for Luray Caverns Airport. 

This action also adjusts the geographic 

coordinates of the airport to be in 

concert with the FAAs aeronautical 

database. This action is necessary for 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current, is non-controversial and
